"Abortion is a blessing" says new dean of Episcopal college

[ericire12]

The Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge has unanimously elected a new dean, Dr. Katherine Ragsdale.

How radically pro-abortion is Katie Rags?  This radically pro-abortion:

    "And when a woman becomes pregnant within a loving, supportive, respectful relationship; has every option open to her; decides she does not wish to bear a child; and has access to a safe, affordable abortion - there is not a tragedy in sight -- only blessing. The ability to enjoy God's good gift of sexuality without compromising one's education, life's work, or ability to put to use God's gifts and call is simply blessing.

    These are the two things I want you, please, to remember - abortion is a blessing

and our work is not done. Let me hear you say it: abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. Abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. Abortion is a blessing and our work is not done.

I want to thank all of you who protect this blessing - who do this work every day: the health care providers, doctors, nurses, technicians, receptionists, who put your lives on the line to care for others (you are heroes -- in my eyes, you are saints); the escorts and the activists; the lobbyists and the clinic defenders; all of you. You're engaged in holy work."

I believe it was President Reagan who said, "I can't help but notice that everyone who is in favor of abortion has already been born."

I have said before that I have no more objection to medically necessary abortion than I do to open heart surgery or amputation. At the current stage of contraceptive science abortion as a contraceptive is unnecessarily expensive, dangerous and probably a sign that that woman is not mentally fit to ever have children.

Abortion for convenience is a vastly different venture then an abortion for what is deemed to be "medically necessary".

I am sorry, but I dont see how "The ability to enjoy God's good gift of sexuality" while in a "loving, supportive, respectful relationship" trumps "Though shall not kill" the unborn babies.

There fixed it for ya.

Dude, I'm trying really, really hard to be an honest man. You're waving a bottle under the nose of someone who vowed to stay sober over the abortion DISTRACTION. Help a brother out here.
fighngquaker13 Who is fondly recalling seeing his five foot nothing girlfriend punch one of Randall Terry's (of Operation "Rescue"/Reschedule fame) squarley in the face during a clinic attack in '89, in front of a DC cop and and have him ask HER if she wanted to press charges. Good Times, and yeah, she was a keeper .
